Traveling light...: melbourne through my eyes

I was just watching a program on t.v about the war between Lebanon and Israel. Looking at the vivid reality of the war made my heart ache. Talk about a reality check.. Is my life really that bad?! Surely not... All my problems don't seem important now.

So I'm back and all refreshed to start a whole new semester! This trip to Melbourne was unusually fulfilling. I got to discover this city which was completely new to me but at the same time soo familiar. It is such a beautiful city and people are so much more friendli-er than in Sydney..it almost made me a bit uncomfortable at first. Anyways, in those 5 days, the highlights worth reflecting back on aren't the shopping nor the coffee sipping (I've had enough dose of caffeine for the year) but meeting up with the "long lost friends" - people who used to babysit me and those "big-sisters" I once looked up to as a girl. I hadn't seen most of them for more than 8 years and most had gotten hitched and are mothers now! Such a fun trip...it was all about celebrating old friendships and spending time with people who used to play important roles in my life and bringing them closer to heart once again.
